Property Description

Experience the real Australia at Gladstone backpackers! Located off the beaten path midway between Rainbow Beach and Airlie Beach, Gladstone offers the unique blend of country, coast, entertainment, and shopping. We are the perfect place to take a travel break or go adventuring like a true local to one of the many hidden beaches off the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Relax by the pool or play a game of darts or Jenga. Check out our activities board packed with weekly in-house events such as pool parties and Sunday barbeques. This is where you can become part of the Gladstone family! There is never a dull moment here thanks to the hostels’ Adventure Shuttle service that offers mountain climbing, kayaking, and fishing tours all at backpacker friendly prices.

Enjoy our homely facilities such as a fully stocked kitchen and rooms with individual fans. The common area features a plasma screen TV where you can watch while hanging out with our friendly Dog, Charlie (he runs the show), the pet turtle, Raph or Godzilla - the Bearded Dragon.

Charlies Bar is the main meeting place, and where all the action happens. From Tumeric Lattes for breakfast, local craft beer on taps to Espresso Martinis and Mojitos as the sun sets. Meet your fellow guests and book your next adventure!

We offer FREE: Wi-Fi, breakfast, linen and towels, and endless love from our onsite dog Charlie

Leaving a rating as the previous ones almost put me off but glad they didn’t. Place must have had some work since the earlier reviews. Really nice hostel, basic rooms but expected for a hostel outside the big cities. Really homely feel, amazing staff and really nice chill atmosphere with family meals too. Brynn working there really made it a good stay.

I don’t know where to start, the first room we stayed in was very clearly not cleaned before we arrived, the bunk bed ladders we not attached at the top so it was sketchy to get in bed. The kitchen is so dirty and unhygienic you wouldn’t be able to cook anything anyways. None of the facilities displayed are in working order or usable, for example the pool was dirty and the washer and dryer were both broken. Breakfast was literally just a loaf of bread. DONT STAY HERE.
